2016 Aldersgate Prize by the John Wesley Honors College at Indiana Wesleyan UniversityEvangelical Christian Publishers Association Top Shelf Book Cover AwardShusaku Endos novel Silence; first published in 1966; endures as one of the greatest works of twentieth-century Japanese literature. Its narrative of the persecution of Christians in seventeenth-century Japan raises uncomfortable questions about God and the ambiguity of faith in the midst of suffering and hostility.Endos Silence took internationally renowned visual artist Makoto Fujimura on a pilgrimage of grappling with the nature of art; the significance of pain and his own cultural heritage. His artistic faith journey overlaps with Endos as he uncovers deep layers of meaning in Japanese history and literature; expressed in art both past and present. He finds connections to how faith is lived in contemporary contexts of trauma and glimpses of how the gospel is conveyed in Christ-hidden cultures.In this world of pain and suffering; God often seems silent. Fujimuras reflections show that light is yet present in darkness; and that silence speaks with hidden beauty and truth.

Then I got to work on a scene from this and found it as funny as "The Father" was serious. Its great to see a playwright that can do hilarious just as good as he can do heartfelt and dramatic. A great play!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Excellent playBy Humberto Lucerothis author is surprisingly witty. you can tell that this play would be breathtaking on stage.
